The San Jose Sharks have apologized after an apparent offensive message seeming to praise Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) was displayed on the arena’s scoreboard during the team’s Hispanic heritage celebration on Saturday night against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Video shared with CNN showed the scoreboard displaying: “SJ SHARKS FANS LOVE ICE !! GET ‘EM BOYZ !” Some fans at SAP Center in San Jose, California, can be heard booing in response.
Sharks fan Jessica Clark told CNN she and her group were “appalled” by the message. “They’re my favorite team — I even have tattoos — but this was something that should’ve been caught,” she said.
In a statement posted on X later, the NHL team said: “During the first intermission of tonight’s game, an offensively worded message which had been externally submitted was inadvertently displayed on the in-arena scoreboard.” Sharks Sports & Entertainment said the message did not reflect the organization’s values and had not been detected during its standard review process. The team expressed deep regret and said it is investigating the origin of the message.

Hockey is played on ICE. If you don't like ICE, don't go to a hockey game. If you are smart enough to know what it is, you shouldn't leave the house without a minder.

Do they hate the IRS, EPA, USMC, etc?

Offensively worded by praising American citizens, enforcing Constitutionally legally passed legislation.
That is where we are today. What a nitwit.

I notice the chick they interviewed is not outraged that Biden’s goons brought a Hamas terrorist into this country who was living in Louisiana since last year, nah that’s fine though
To: nickcarraway
What are the chances the offended person was not at the game or ever watches hockey?

She claims to have season tickets and a Sharks tattoo.

Note to self: avoid women bearing tattoos of their favorite sports teams. I will allow one exception, if it’s for the Gonzaga Bulldogs.

That was absolutely hilarious!
I was expecting something like Jill Biden calling the Sharks ‘Breakfast Tacos.’
Disappointing! And now I want a TACO! ;)
